“Exhibiting at the 71st AAPOR

Conference in Austin, TX was

a valuable experience for our

young company for two main

reasons: We were able to make

connections with researchers

from a variety of different

fields who were interested in

exploring new technology such

as our platform for sending

SMS surveys, invitations, and

reminders; and secondly,

attending AAPOR gave us an

opportunity to learn about and

stay up-to-date on new findings

and best practices in the world

of public opinion research.”

— Conor Hobert, Instant Census
